Trina McGee Boy Meets World

Trina McGee opened up about her 'Boy Meets World' experience on a podcast hosted by co-stars Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle.

Additionally, she dealt with microagressions and racist comments on set which made her feel “small.” “I felt that my respect level was not appreciated.” “I was told, in a weird, offhanded way, by a very important person, that you all went to Michael Jacobs [showrunner] and you said, ‘We don’t want her in the last episode,'” explained the actor.

Trina McGee, who played Angela on "Boy Meets World," explained to Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel and Will Friedle on their rewatch podcast why she wasn't in ...

After she explained the offensive comment to him, he apologized and they hugged — but he was “literally shaking” afterward. “In my head, I attached no cultural significance to that whatsoever. Funny enough, a rebuttal was written to the Daily News by Lorraine Toussaint, who said, ‘No, you must acknowledge that these are two different races getting together …’ If I had to do it over and I could take my real stance — hindsight and everything — I would have wrote the opposite article.” I remember when I was doing ‘Angela’s Ashes’ episode, somehow my Black meter had slipped up and I was at about a 9. I was under the impression that y’all got together and did not want me in the last show, for some reason I was going to take some shine or something to that effect,” she continued. She shared on the podcast that her publicist and husband actually wrote the piece, which was published under her byline, but that she didn’t agree. “It’s true that we weren’t played against each other, but I won’t go so far to say we weren’t manipulated,” Strong said. I have honestly had that in my head for 20 years.” I was told, in kind of a weird, off-handed way by a very important person, that you guys all went to (showrunner) Michael Jacobs, and you said, ‘We don’t want her in the last episode. “I was told that after I shot what was the show before the last episode, which was called ‘Angela’s Ashes’ when I left. “I remember after we taped the show, I had said to a person, ‘Why aren’t we on the last show?’ Because I know the last show was going to be the one with the ratings and the crying and all the stuff. When Michael announced to me, we’re going to do another show on Angela, I was so happy, not knowing this was going to be the show before the last show.”

Her costars were shocked by the revelation -- with Danielle Fishel swearing "on the lives of my children" it never happened.

"If I had to do it over and I could take my real stance of hindsight and everything, I would have wrote the opposite article," she added. "I read what she said and I actually kind of agreed with her." "I have honestly had that in my head for 20 years," she added. "That was really hurtful to me for a long time." "I was told that after I shot what was the show before the last episode, which was called 'Angela's Ashes,' when I left. "Because I know the last show was going to be the one with the ratings and the crying and all the stuff.
